I had a suspicion on this, -v1 is the correct argument.
My friend is man, the original swap type is gotten by -v0.

Note here--------------^^

There is no "-v for verbose" option to mkswap, therefore it
is probably being taken as "-v0" and erasing the previous "-v1".

The user interface implications are left as an exercise for
